Sam Mangwana, 75, born in Kinshasa (DRC) to Angolan parents, now embodies the golden age of Congolese rumba. A herald of pan-Africanism, a contemporary witness of the great era of independence, he is still capable of getting all generations to dance, as in the ballrooms of old times. ?Lubamba?, his latest album is the ultimate proof that emotion and commitment have no age limit. Sam Mangwana has lived, played and sang Rumba right through the golden period of African music accompanying and packing stadiums with Franco Luambo?s TPOK Jazz throughout the seventies to the early eighties and prior with Tabu Ley Rochereau in the late sixties in his African National Fiesta with another stint to follow in the late seventies with him.
